Field chemistry for corrosion control

Field chemistry tests for internal corrosion control programs

Between the sample and the lab report, you’re flying blind.

Scheduled grabs and lab turnaround leave hours to days where inhibitor, pH, and dissolved iron can drift, and corrosion chemistry doesn’t wait.

Screens chemistry in the field; prioritize your lab sample

Consequence

Over/under-treat

Inhibitor spend and residual risk drift while you wait.

Delayed go / no-go

Integrity calls sit on lab lag instead of a field screen.

Routine lab fees

Pay lab turnaround for checks a field film can triage.

Products

Amine residual

MEA detection in complex samples. 0–10 ppm (warmer ~35 min at 167°F); 20–200 ppm with heater (about 15 min at 167°F); or 20–300 ppm ambient (up to 5 hr).*

Dissolved Fe(II)

Dissolved Fe(II) (ferrous iron) field screen in complex samples. Ambient, under 2 minutes.*

pH field test

pH field screen in complex hydrocarbon samples. Ambient, about 2 min.*

*pH is about 2 minutes at ambient; Fe(II) is under 2 minutes at ambient; amine low-range is 0–10 ppm with warmer at 167°F for ~35 minutes; amine high-range heater is 20–200 ppm at 167°F for about 15 minutes total; high-range ambient is 20–300 ppm with no heat up to a 5-hour ceiling.
